Chapter 1691 - The Frightening Tianfu Divine Lord!

Chapter 1691: The Frightening Tianfu Divine Lord!
The most crucial thing was that the Tianfu Divine Lord was simply too fast, his movement technique several times faster than the Greater Void Step and completely untraceable. One had to realize that the Greater Void Step was already powerful enough to be considered a legendary martial art, but the Tianfu Divine Lord unbelievably had an even faster technique.
Wang Chong had never imagined that such a powerful martial art or martial artist could exist!
Even if Wang Chong could sense the existence of the Southern Dipper Star Awl, the man was so fast that the awl seemed to be present at every possible position.
It was impossible to locate the Star Awl’s true position!
Too powerful!
Wang Chong tried his best to calm his breathing. The more urgent the situation was, the more important it was to not panic. Wang Chong was well aware of how grim his situation was. The Tianfu Divine Lord was unbelievably powerful, and the slightest mistake while fighting him would lead to death.

Heh, killing the Goat, Deer, and Tiger, and forcing this god to personally come and kill you is already quite decent! Alas, you still must die.

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s body was floating in the air, his robes drifting in the wind, and there was a smirk on his face. As he spoke, light and shadow twisted around him, coalescing once more into that massive, glassy star.
At this moment, Wang Chong suddenly realized that the star that had earlier been manifested had not disappeared.
Wang Chong seemed to realize something, but he still wasn’t too sure.
Swish!
On the other end, the Tianfu Divine Lord attacked again.
Wang Chong was mentally prepared this time. The Tianfu Divine Lord had just vanished like he was an illusion when Wang Chong jumped forward, using the Greater Void Step to disappear. Boom! There was a metallic clattering as Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy erupted from his body. This time, Wang Chong had decided to use the fortress-like Origin Barrier.
Wang Chong had relied on the Origin Barrier to block the attacks of nearly one hundred men in black. Not only had he emerged entirely unharmed, he had been able to knock back all his foes.

It’s useless! My Southern Dipper Star Awl is unstoppable and can pierce through all the defensive arts and Stellar Energy techniques in the world!
the Tianfu Divine Lord said coldly. A moment later, there was a sharp whistle as the awl’s tip tore through the Origin Barrier like it was made of paper.

Ah!

Wang Chong called out in alarm, his body staggering out of the void. And on the Tiandu point on his back, a third crystalline awl had been thrust.
In front of the Tianfu Divine Lord’s supreme advantage in speed, all of Wang Chong’s struggles were meaningless. He had not been able to dodge these Star Awls even once.
To think that not even the Origin barrier could block his Star Awl…!
Cold sweat streaked down Wang Chong’s forehead as intense pain tore at his nerves. Even worse was that with the penetration of the third awl, Wang Chong could see the Origin barrier around him dimming.
He wants to use this method to restrain and weaken my strength!
Wang Chong finally understood what was going on. Whether it was those three Immortals or this Tianfu Divine Lord, they were all afraid of death. While he might have been weaker than the Tianfu Divine Lord, he was still a Subtle realm expert. The Tianfu Divine Lord was planning to weaken Wang Chong first, and then kill him in a single blow. This would prevent any last-ditch struggles.
Understanding this, Wang Chong knew that his situation was not as dangerous as it first seemed. But if he couldn’t think of a way to escape this predicament, death was still inevitable. And given the Tianfu Divine Lord’s speed, there wasn’t much time.

What? Still thinking of a plan?!

Seeing that Wang Chong was remaining silent, the Tianfu Divine Lord seemed to understand what he was thinking. Coldly chuckling, he took out the fourth Star Awl, which whistled into the Shanhuan point on Wang Chong’s right chest.
Even though Wang Chong was ready, he still failed to dodge it.
The fifth and sixth awls came in quick succession, and one by one, Wang Chong’s critical acupuncture points were struck. In short order, Wang Chong was greatly weakened, and it wouldn’t be long before he fell from the Subtle realm. Not only that, Wang Chong had noticed that the Tianfu Divine Lord’s Star Awls had a special ability that could sever one’s connections to the higher dimension from which the energy of the Subtle realm sprung.
At the start, Wang Chong had been able to pull energy from this higher dimension, but now, Wang Chong felt as if there was a thin gauze between him and that dimension that loosened his connection.
The situation was getting worse and worse. Once he fell out of the Subtle realm, the Tianfu Divine Lord would deal the fatal blow.
What do I do? If this continues, I’m finished!
The intense pain continued to tear away at Wang Chong, and his clothes were damp with sweat. But Wang Chong remained calm and collected, his mind moving at one hundred times its normal speed.
Every martial art has a flaw. There’s no such thing as an invincible art. As long as I can find the flaw in his art, I can find his true self and defeat him!
As Wang Chong’s mind turned, he subconsciously glanced at the walls of the residence.

Heh, it’s pointless. You think that the fierce battle here will attract the City Guard, allowing you to be saved?

Wang Chong’s simple action immediately earned a response from the Tianfu Divine Lord, whose piercing gaze had immediately peered into the depths of Wang Chong’s mind.

You think that this god did not take this into account before attacking you here? And besides, it is not only this god who wishes to kill you!

This god could not be sure about any other time, but tonight, the Imperial Army of your Great Tang Imperial Palace has been placed in charge of this area. No matter what happens here, or how much noise is made, no one will come to investigate!

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s drifting voice sounded confident and assured, the voice of someone who had complete control over the situation. It was evident that they had meticulously planned out this operation, giving no chance for Wang Chong to escape.
Wang Chong’s heart instantly sank. There were many residences around the King of Foreign Lands Residence, and to its northeast was the Great Tang’s Imperial Palace. But if this man was so sure about his success, then it was obvious that they had ensured that no reinforcements would be coming.
Neeeigh!
As Wang Chong’s heart was heavy and his mind rapidly tried to think of a plan, there was a stampede of hooves from outside, breaking the silence. Wang Chong raised an eyebrow while the Tianfu Divine Lord creased his brow in surprise.

Over there!


Everyone, keep up! Don’t let a single one go!


Send a carrier pigeon to inform our superiors!

A turmoil could be heard in the distance, the stomping of hooves and the clattering of armor getting closer and closer.
The City Guard!
Wang Chong put a hand over one of his wounds as he glanced at the Tianfu Divine Lord. The City Guard seemed to be on its way, a force of fifty to sixty men. The First Prince and the Tianfu Divine Lord had already completely locked the place down, but in their haste, they had apparently left a flaw. A group of soldiers had gotten past the checkpoints and made their way inside.
The Tianfu Divine Lord seemed to understand this, his eyebrows rising as his face scowled. He had just said that the place had been completely sealed so that no one could get inside, yet this sudden force of soldiers had given him a slap to the face.
But the awkwardness didn’t persist for long. The force of City Guard soldiers only managed to make it a small distance through the darkness before falling into an abrupt din of screams and neighing. A few moments later, all the sounds came to an abrupt halt.
Other than the barking of one or two dogs, there was no sound. It was like nothing had happened. The City Guard soldiers had seemingly vanished like a cloud of steam.
Wang Chong’s heart sank once more. Those people were undoubtedly all dead.
The Tianfu Divine Lord had not been lying. A great net had been cast over the surroundings, and his men had wiped out that force of cavalry to the last man.
Wang Chong felt an unprecedented danger, as he now understood that there was no hope of escaping, at least not until daybreak.
It was unkind to not reciprocate a gift, and Wang Chong’s eyes suddenly turned hard with resolve. This fight was unavoidable, so the only option was to fight to the death. Regardless of whether he was any match for the Tianfu Divine Lord, Wang Chong was not someone who would just wait around and accept his death.
Buzz!
There was a heaven-shaking rumble as a dazzling golden pavilion shot up behind Wang Chong, soaring upward like a bamboo stalk. In a flash, his fifteen-floor Trayastrimsa Heaven had been unleashed.
Wang Chong reached behind him, and the Trayastrimsa Heaven immediately transformed into a silver spear around two meters long.
The Origin Lance!
This was an ability that the third-generation successor in the underground palace back in the northwest had used. It transformed the Trayastrimsa Heaven into a spear that gathered together all the power of the Origin Immortal Art, and it possessed immense might!

Since that’s the case, let’s fight until the end!

Wang Chong fearlessly stared at the Tianfu Divine Lord.

Stubborn to the end!

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s eyes chilled, as did his face.
Boom! The Tianfu Divine Lord vanished again, and at the same time, Wang Chong cast out the spear.
Start a thread
The speed of the Greater Void Step paired with the lightning-fast Origin Lance produced a speed that was infinitesimally close to the Tianfu Divine Lord’s. This was Wang Chong’s only hope of dealing with this formidable foe.
